Hufflepuff
8 3 6 6 3 5 7 3 6 6
8+3+6+6+3+5+7+3+6+6=53
5+3=8
You inherit an attitude for power which will cause you to seek recognition in relation to business as well as finance.
Jory raised his hand to answer the question. "Is it because it relates to you and your family possibly from generations, so it kinda passes down?'' "Like DNA,'' he thought. Oh good. He changed it. Yes, it was definitely better to work with someone who had a clear-cut namesake, rather than one that was simply a nickname.
Nodding at the second year as he fixed his work and then offered a suggestion about the question, "It does... sort of. The growth number is your potential. Your family generally speaking, helps you to achieve your potential. This doesn't have to be your biological family, by the way." No. Any type of family could be an acting force. Quote:

It's something that we inherited but we haven't learned to use it to the best of our ability. It is related more to the Family Name Number because that number also shows what we inherited through our families and how that ultimately affects what we become in the future." Alyssa hoped that she wasn't rambling on again and that she actually made sense. Because she did know the difference. She only had problems actually putting it into words that made sense. Fina nodded. "That too. Growth number will .... zero in on one of your talents and abilities. It'll be something honed by our families." Quote:

When Professor Hadley asked the next question, Kurumi picked up her quill and took it to her parchment to write out her thoughts a bit, taking in what others were saying as she did.
First thing to consider was one's Life Path Number, which essentially told you the path you will follow and part of you was needed to help you on the road to greatness - what strengths in yourself that you should be sure to use and fall back on. Your Growth Number wasn't about what you should use, but HOW to grow in your strengths as you went down your life path and showed you where your potential lied. The key in this was, to Kurumi, was the word potential. Life Path seemed to be showing what was known, more of an absolute as it were, where as Growth was more giving you a blue print to follow, a map. Which left her with the remaining Family Name Number to recheck its meaning, which they had just gone over - your last name reveal your spiritual nature, your inner subconscious response to life. While all these definitions were nice...they weren't facts and Kurumi needed to work in facts right now.
Looking down at her notes again, Kurumi looked at HOW the numbers were calculated and instantly noticed some similarities. Taking a deep breath, Kurumi decided to finally raise her hand. "Does it have something to do with how the numbers are calculated? Your Life Path Number doesn't use the letters of your name, but is based on your birth date. Your Growth Number and Family Name Number are found by adding together the numerical values of the letters in your name, first name and surname respectively. So, in a sense, they build off each other." And with that, Kurumi lowered her hand. Of course it had something to do with the way the numbers were calculated too. "Yes. I do think this plays a huge part. Whether you use your birth date or your name to calculate something ... has different meaning. And of course, is a different number entirely that you would be calculating." Quote:

She still raised her hand to hazard a guess. "Does it have anything to do with the fact that family shapes an individual and contributes to their personal growth?" Meh. She had no idea. Ah, and here Amelia too pointed out what she pointed out. In a different way. "I think it exactly has to do with that. Your family shapes you. Your family helps you into the person you're to become. You wouldn't be on your life path without prodding and encouragement from your family." Quote:

"Professor," Tayla began as she raised her hand. "I noticed that the Growth Number is calculated using a person's first name. And, as the name suggests, the Family Name Number is calculated using one's family name. So..." Tayla paused, trying to figure out how to word her answer. "Perhaps it's because...they...connect...or are partners...somehow...for a person's name.
"And I guess...it's because family is a great influence on a person's growth, especially during the earlier years. But..." Tayla paused again, a sudden thought of Sirius Black from history popping into her head.
"But I don't think it's the case for everyone. I'm sure it's known that there are some people who grow up to be very different from their families." Fina nodded as Tayla mentioned what others had mentioned with how the number is calculated and then also about the family being a great influence on a person's growth.
But then her last comment. "Yes, people can grow up to be very different from their biological families. Because I think that some people are molded by many different families..... you have your house families, your extended families, adoptive, .... all those different families meld together as driving forces which push and pull you along your destined life path. Your growth is changed by those you meet." "As many of your classmates already mentioned, the growth number is calculated from the letters in your first name. Using the historical name that you used in calculating their family name, I want you to calculate that person's growth number." And she was pretty sure most of them knew their first names, with the exception of a few students which she already corrected and steered toward picking a different name.
